Trump may think he's just going through the motions with his arraignment, but it's about more than that IMHO.

If they can show he had intent to willfully subvert the election process through his hush money payoff to Stormy Daniels, that may be something indeed.

There are people who are openly hostile to blue checkmarks on Twitter. TBH, I got mine temporarily to get Twitter API access. I filled out the application twice and was denied twice. That's on Musk. My request to look at the API (Twitter internals) was a normal one. That's just dumb.

This is a gradual turning point. Something good actually may come from it, even if the grand jury doesn't find trump guilty. #Indicted

For instance, Trump may be repeatedly dogged by questions about his relationship with Melania for some time. Isn't it a question of fidelity?

“Environmental, social, and corporate governance, or ESG, is a framework that helps investors understand how an organization—in this case, retirement savings plan managers—manages risks and opportunities regarding sustainability.”

#ESG 's are important now. They are a step in the right direction, environmentally and socially. Republicans (along with Sens Manchin and Tester) want to take us back to the 1950's and stay there.

ESG fits a paradigm shift. Instead of making the most money in the shortest amount of time and at maximum expense to the Earth, it addresses both sustainability and environmental feasibility in business and makes financial considerations to that effect.

A conservative I know says she doesn't want to pay taxes for people who get $10k-20k in student loan debt relief. I think the problem is more stark than that. The law says that Biden's debt relief is granted under the Heroes Act. Waiving the debt is categorized as an emergency relief measure.

I have not thought this entirely through; brainstorming here.

What if a new corporation tax was introduced on profits from automation/robotics/AI replacing working people's jobs? And the money collected from said tax entirely funds a Universal Basic Income

Unless something major happens between now and then, this almost certainly means DeSantis or somebody like DeSantis will get the Republican nod. Easily half or perhaps two thirds of conservatives watch Fox, right? That's where they get all their cable news. No trump coverage. No nomination.

I'm just one person. What can I do to change the direction of the United States? There is a lot of technology being used by people and organizations but what does it boil down to? Changing politics? Changing the system's economic architecture to be more inclusive? Sometimes I get lost in the details

What's interesting about this political cycle is the Republicans are in locked down, autocratic mode.

They are pandering to fascists so they can get paid -- from Fox news journalists to politicians like George Santos. It's simply disgusting.

Agreed. Look at what Elmo did to the Twitter API. I applied to get a Twitter development account and probably won’t get one or if I do it may be somewhat limited in scope.
